It's just personally disgusting to me that we can't even trust what we buy anymore. I always bought what I thought was the best dog food. Friends of mine have even said I take better care of my dog than myself. Although I have never bought canned dog food.

I used to have a dog that did love those Little Caesar packages, but the vet told me they were too rich.

I have been reading and re-reading a package of Iams dog biscuits that I have bought for years because they don't preserve with BHA or BHT. I don't even trust those anymore.

I do have recipes somewhere for dog biscuits, guess I better get busy. :)

I don't know if anyone shops at Trader Joe's, I used to when I lived in California and I MISS them here in Texas.......but their food seems to be on the ok list.

Bench and Field whose holistic foods are sold at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods.

Tell me about it. I've had my dogs for a while - one passed back in December unexpectedly, the other is doing well. Like you, I take care of them as if they were my kids. The other issue is that with this going on with pet food, how much can we trust human food? I've made a conscious effort to move away from pre-packaged foods in the grocery store as a result.

I used a recipe and made a bunch of dog biscuits not too long ago. They are easy to make, they keep well in a storage container, they are much CHEAPER than store bought and best of all, you know exactly what the ingredients are.
